The devil is in the details. YUMA vs TRIBE
So this year, after having played mas (for the non trinis like myself, that’s the term used to describe taking part in the carnival parade) for 2 years in a row, I decided to switch it up. I mean, after 2 years with TRIBE and the RAVE reviews that YUMA got last year, why not try something new? BIG mistake.
A conflict of conscience
A few friends and I are planning a Party (Dulce Noche: Soca Vs Dancehall) for this December 3rd in Jamaica. Now, planning the event is in itself a hectic activity, but it’s nothing when compared to promoting it, and I’ve found, in promoting I’ve come into conflict several times with my conscience Continue Reading
What’s wrong with going to 21?
So a few days ago I stumbled across a post on Trinidad Carnival Diary. In a nutshell she was talking about a gentleman who quite frankly said men prefer younger women (early 20s) for various reasons. As usual, this got me thinking. Continue Reading
Men pay for costumes too!
For the last few weeks I’ve been following all the Trinidad Carnival Band launches, the hype and apparently drama surrounding the whole thing. To say it’s been interesting would be a huge understatement, but I’ll discuss that in another post. In any event, one thing has been more or less solidified in my mind….

Well we’re half way through 2011, and I’ve learned quite a bit so far this year. However one of the most surprising things I’ve learned (surprising to me at least) is that ‘Malice’ isn’t something done exclusively by teenage girls….Adults and yes men do it too! Continue Reading
How much jealousy is too much jealousy?
Everyone loves a little jealousy. In some strange way (or not so strange way) it’s one of the ways we know someone cares. It sounds a bit ‘twisted’ but, if you think about it, you know it’s true. The important question is, how much is too much? Continue Reading
Ladies, please stop underestimating men!

Trini Carnival 2011 – Sun, Rum, Soca & Sexing Bad Trini Girls! (?)
This morning I was directed to a forum that had a blog post from a guy who’s been to Trinidad more than a couple times. Let’s just say HIS experience was drastically different from mine. But instead of trying to describe the experience to you, I’ll let his words speak for him. Continue Reading
First Trinidad. Now Jamaica Carnival!
So, it took a while, but I finally did it. I finally decided to do Jamaica Carnival. One word, no actually two words, AMAZING FUN! Continue Reading
Why I love Amazon.com
If you know me, even a little, you’ll no doubt know that most of my purchases come from Amazon.com. Electronics, books, videogames, vitamins, supplements, if I need it and it won’t spoil in a matter of days chances are I’ll buy it from Amazon.com. But why? Continue Reading
